Yuendumu residents asked to return after riots

The Northern Territory Government has urged people who fled to Adelaide after violent riots in Yuendumu to return to the community and resolve their differences.

In September, about 90 people left the central Australian community after riots sparked by the stabbing death of a Yuendumu man in Alice Springs.

Most residents returned after two months in South Australia but some remain in Adelaide.

Chief Minister Paul Henderson is urging them to return to Yuendumu.

"Look, I'd implore them to come home ... we will sit down and mediate an outcome but at the end of the day it's not for government, you know government can't resolve people's personal differences," he said.
